[SOLVED] Matirx help please
Hey, I have a quiz tomorrow and I was hoping someone could explain how this answer was formed from a question on the practice quiz.
Suppose A, B, C, D are square matrices of the same size and that A and C are invertible. Given that AX + B = DC^-1 ( Sorry it's meant to say D* C inverse), express X in terms of the other matrices.
Solution: X = A^-1*DC^-1 - A^-1*B.
I am confused as my initial reaction was to just rearrange the given equation but sure enough this was too simple and did not give the same answer as you can't just separate A from X right?
Please can someone explain the steps they took in getting that answer!
